GENERAL GIBBON on THE VETOED
PENSION BILL,

General John Gibbon, of the Iron
Brigade, writes from Vancouver Bar
racks, W T., the following letter to
Col j. A. Watrous, of The Milwaukee
sunday Telegraph:
my DEAR COLONEL: saw re-
Gently in Wisconsin paper par
agraph in which my name was men
toned in no very Gathering way in
connection with my opinion of the
vetoed pension bill. We can generally
look with charity upon zeal in the adj
vocateS of any cause, but in their
efforts TO bolster up their position they
would be wise not to weaken it by
personal abuse or erroneous state
ments. have never been able to I'M
derstand the connection between the
battle of Bull Run and the approval of
a law which, whilst it might give aid
To some case of meritorious, destitute
soldiers. certainly would offer induce
ments to every bounty jumper. strag-
gler and shirk too worthless TO earn
his living, or too INSCRIPTIONS to hes

get that assistance from the govern
men, which should be given as a right
only to those who earned it by their
services or their losses, and | do not
believe many Wisconsin soldiers will
pay much heed to the assertion that |

OF the fact that any old Iron Brigade
man could tell them that it was SO

THE TARIFF TAXES.

\ recent Washington dispatch says;
Pretty conclusive evidence that the
duties are collected more Thoroughly
than they used to be is afforded by a
comparison of the imports for the first
nine months of this fiscal year with the
customs revenue for the same period.
The figures for the current year show
an increase i'll the amount of duties
collected in the same nine months Of
Sl9,209,6S0. The increase of the du-
table merchandise imported was less
than per cent, but the increase in the
amount of duties collected was more
than IL per cent. Only two things can
account for this: One is an enormous
increase in the importation of articles
subject to the highest rates of duties,
and the other is II more rigid val
uatiOn and collection of duties. The
detailed table of imports do not show
the former and therefore the in
creased collections must be attributed
to the latter. The import tables are
not So made up as to permit cOmpari-
sons between both quantities in many
articles, but III the items of carpets
the increase i'll importations in square
yards was less than per cent and the
increase in valuation was - per cent.
Although the tariff laws are be
lieyed by the administration to be cX-
tremely unjust, it is evident that they
are being strictly enforced; and this is
riuht and prOnpr II ia the 1uty Of
the legislative and not the executive
branch of the government to make
and repeal laws. a speedy reduction
of tariff taxes is greatly to be desired;
but until such reduction is made by
congress il is to be hoped that there
will be no evasion of the tariff laws
While exorbitant duties are imposed
by statute let them be honestly col.
lected.

THE NEW DEPOT.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:--Ihere Is
a good deal of interest being felt about
the alleged proposed location of the
new depot above the rock bridge.
The best place for a new depot is on
Water street, on the grounds bought
by the Missouri Pacific from the Ferry
Co, east of Anderson's warehouse.
Pine street is macadamized, as will be
the levee, t o Tom Walton's house.
Macadam can be bought cheap from
the county by the city to finish macad-
amizing the street east to Tom Clark's
coal banks, and thus accommodate all
travel to and from Ray county and
business of the st. Louis and St. Joseph
| railroad, as we'll IS the Missouri Pacific.
| Gas and walks can be extended to the
new depot there by the city. at a very
small cost, and the depot will be In the
| city under police protection.
To the present depot we have
m~acadamized streets, excepting a few
hundred feet, which can be completed
at very little expense to the city and
county, good walks, gas and street
cars. There is no location equal to
this for all carload freights, and pass
engers for the branch, east, and fol
Kansas City, west.
Nine-tenths of all the country bust
ness, in the way of produce, stock ano
fruits, comes into this city from the
Dover, Warrensburg and . Columbus
or Greenton roads. No location of s
depot for freights can equal the present
one. G. B. r.

An unfortunate street rencontre
took place at Jefferson City, last Tues
day. between State Auditor John
walker aud ex-Supreme Judge John
w. Henry, of Kansas City. Judge
Henry was In Jefferson on law BUSH
ness, and met Mr.. Walker on the
street, e a the capitol gate, when that
gentleman accused him of having made
Injurious statements regarding him.
Judge Henry replied that he had mol
said anything of him which was NOT
true. Mr.. Walker called the Judge q
liar, when the latter struck him, with
his walking stick, on the head. Mr.
Walker drew a pistol aud fired, the
bullet entering Judge Henry's hand
passing through part of the forearm
and then into the breast, where it ls
supposed to be imbedded in the breast
bone. Mr.. Walker was considerably
injured by the blow from the cane' Q
paralytic stroke being feared as a con
sequence, for a time. He was taken
to his home, and Judge Henry return
ed to Kansas City that afternoon. The
prominence of the two gentlemen hal
made the incident one OF much com
| ment.
